Low Carb Diets Wheeling WV

Low-carbohydrate diets restrict or exclude carbohydrates from people’s diets. Instead, dieters on diets such as the Atkins Diet, Zone Diet, or South Beach Diet eat a high protein diet. Some low-carbohydrate diets aim to achieve weight loss through ketosis, where the body burns fat instead of carbs.

Low Carb Diets

How fast things can change. Research firms estimated that the number of low-carb dieters peaked at 9% of all adults in February 2004, and fell to just 2.2% by mid-2005. Atkins Nutritionals laid off hundreds of employees and reported a net loss of $340 million in 2004. At one point, things were so bad that unsold food products had to be donated to charity.

On Jan. 10, 2006, Atkins Nutritionals announced that it had emerged from bankruptcy. The company completed its Chapter 11 reorganization and has introduced a new business strategy that focuses on providing portable foods with a nutrition advantage to healthy, active men and women. This is a distinct shift from its pre-bankruptcy strategy of educating the population about the benefits of controlled carbohydrate nutrition.

Atkins Nutritionals, created in 1997, is a privately held company. At its peak, it had revenues estimated at more than $200 million.

The company has adjusted its organization to accommodate a smaller business and will broaden it focus to health and wellness. After it emerged from bankruptcy, the Long Island, NY-based firm now focuses on nutrition bars and shakes (meal replacements).

According to MSNBC, the low-carb diet became one of the most popular in U.S. history. But, it also was heavily criticized by experts for its focus on fatty foods and low fruit and vegetable consumption. Atkins owed $300 million in outstanding debts.

The company’s product line ballooned to 120+ and Atkins low-carb products began appearing in supermarkets and grocery stores, as well as via “Atkins Certified Retailers”. What seemed like another “fad diet” became much more mainstream and longer lasting than most had imagined. Low-carb eating truly became an international phenomenon, affecting bakeries and growers of rice and potatoes in the United States and worldwide. In addition, most of the large weight loss commercial chains such as Weight W...
